Data Analytics and Digital Transformations

At this event Erik Beulen, Professor of Information Management at AMBS, and Marla A. Dans , Head of Data Management and Governance at Chicago Trading Company, will launch their new book Data Analytics and Digital Transformations.

Data Analytics and Digital Transformations

Understanding the significance of data analytics is paramount for digital transformation but in many organisations they are separate units without fully aligned goals. As organisations are applying digital transformations to be adaptive and agile in a competitive environment, data analytics can play a critical role in their success.

Comprehending the crossroads between data analytics and digital transformation, and how to leverage their connection for improved business outcomes is essential. The need to collaborate and share data is becoming an integral part of digital transformation. This not only creates new opportunities but also requires well-considered and continuously assessed decision-making as competitiveness is at stake.

This book details approaches, concepts, and frameworks, as well as actionable insights and good practices, including combined data management and agile concepts. Critical issues are discussed such as data quality and data governance, as well as compliance, privacy, and ethics.

This book will be of direct appeal to global researchers and students. It is also relevant for policy makers, regulators, and executives of private and public organisations looking to implement successful transformation policies.
